Geezer / boomer rock: threat or menace?

Petit Trois omelet is shit. Lodge Bread sucks. So many hot takes! :grin:
Curious, do the controversial opinions extend to other things besides food? What highly-regarded music is actually garbage? Is The Godfather derivative?

Warrior: Mostly garbage, but somehow they wrote Clocks, which is amazing. The Scientist is good too.

The Rolling Stones are the most overrated thing ever.

Two votes for the Stones! I can see them being considered overrated, but garbage??!!! Sacre bleu! Wild Horses and Paint it Black alone elevate them far above garbage!!:rage:

I paid $500 for tickets and those MF’ers did not play Satisfaction. I was not satisfied.

Usually there is something good to say about any well-regarded musical artist. With painters, however, I’m not so sure. This ā€œmasterpieceā€ comes from an article entitled ā€œThe Genius of Cy Twombly.ā€

Anyway, about bread – The bread I really look forward to trying again is Bari’s focaccia.

Lodge is like that singer you heard raves about from others, then the night you see them they are pitchy and supposedly have a cold and yet everyone fawns after them bc of the hype.

Saying you don’t like Lodge bread because it’s too scorched makes clear (unlike ā€œsucksā€ or ā€œoverratedā€) that you ate some and why you didn’t like it.

Spoken like one who has never seen a Springsteen concert from the first 5 rows. Yes, he’s old and a bit tired now, but for 20 years his was the greatest band in rock.

Five great songs: thunder road, born to run, prove it all night, I’m on fire, racing in the street. I could take or leave the rest.

You haven’t listened to enough of the band’s material going back even to the first record. No listing of the many great E Street Band tunes is complete without mention of ā€œRosalita.ā€ And the covers they do live are epic. Your loss.

Woops I forgot dancing in the dark. Okay I take it back. He’s great.

actually that’s the only Springsteen song that I like… I’ve disliked him since Born to Run
